PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) With off-field issues overshadowing his program once again, Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said Tuesday the Seminoles are "stepping up" their process of educating players about domestic violence and other issues.

Speaking during the Atlantic Coast Conference's preseason media days, Fisher said the program has started a four-step program to address problems and build on character-building exercises that have been part of FSU culture for years.

"It's like coaching," Fisher said. "What you learn: don't take anything for granted. Try to cover as many things from A to Z as you possibly can to educate - don't do this, don't do that, don't do that - to make sure you address every issue out there.
